no doubt it was,.............. they where there too buy braunvieh.Frankie":3g5o738e said:I watched part of a Braunvieh sale on RFD TV last week. It seemed to be a good sale.
i believe you but,, and although i like watching superior their not real indicative of the real worldBusterz":2rtahyjk said:There is a market for braunvieh cattle, people who know what they are won't discount them. But I wouldn't expect to haul them to the sale barn and have anyone know what they were. They sell well on superior and they have marketing programs that pay premiums for them.
They are good cattle and do very well in feed tests and carcass shows.

Don't advise in something that they will be discounted on.
Braunviehs have limited market value.
theres no doubt about that.ROB":13kkrfwb said:in the traditional sense of marketing fullblood and purebred braunviehs at the local salebarn they will be docked, not because they're not good quality, but because they are not the norm. the black braunviehs will do very well at the local markets. not because they are better quality than the fullbloods or purbreds, but because they are similar to the norm.
there are a number of feedlots who want braunvieh genetics (fullbloods, purebreds and black) and will pay a premium to get them.
there are a lot of guys who finish out their own and sell on the grid - where the quality of their carcasses are rewarded with premiums for low yield grade, big ribeyes and decent marbling. (meaning choice)
and there are guys like me who finishes out on the farm and sells beef. $1.75/lb on the hanging weight is nothing to be ashamed of, even with $7.00 corn they still made money.
and yes, with the production sales there are some who like to make you think they're calves are worth a lot more money than anyone elses, but show me a production sale within any other breed that doesn't do the same thing.

everyone else in my area that raises "traditional" calves and markets their beef direct took quite a discount compared to what i received. does that mean that their "traditional" calves have a limited market value as well?
